It is with regret that the department announces the passing of Sonja Kingsley, mother of past Lieutenant Tyrone Finholt.
Lt. Finholt and his sister are asking for help to lay their mother to rest. Throughout the many years of service to the department Lt. Finholt has exemplified the true meaning of "Brotherhood" , what it means to be a role model, mentor, member, friend, and “Brother”.
Right now our Brother needs your help. We ask that if you can make a donation to help Lt. Finholt give his mother the Funeral she deserves please do. Any amount can help.
The Chiefs, Officers, and Members send their heart felt condolences to the Kingsley/Finholt family. Please keep Lt. Finholt and his family in your thoughts and prays.

Firehouse
The Original Quarters was a house located on the same lot where the current building stands. It was converted into a garage which would be come the firehouse. Through the years many changes were made due to the variations in apparatus.
